Transforming Your Home With Popcorn Ceiling Removal

Styles come and go. What may have made your home look sophisticated and on-trend back in the day
likely doesn’t have the same effect today, and popcorn ceilings tend to fall within this category.
So, why should you consider popcorn ceiling removal?

To Update the Look and Feel of Your Home

Popcorn ceilings were pretty common back in the 1970s and 1980s. For starters, they were easy to
install. All it took was spraying the material on to reveal the end result. Further, they were the more
cost-effective material to apply to finish a ceiling surface.

But these days, popcorn ceilings are no longer in style. They bring down the esthetics of a home’s
interior and can even pull down its perceived value, which can be particularly problematic for those
who are putting their home on the market.

But with popcorn ceiling removal, your home’s interior can get an instant facelift and be completely
transformed in one fell swoop. Not only will this enhance the look of your home, but it can even boost
its value.

To Make it Easier to Clean

All those little nooks and crannies between the bumps are traps for dust and debris. And trying to pry it
out of those crevices can prove to be a challenge.

If you try to wipe the surface with a cloth, you’ll likely cause particles to be released, making even
more of a mess to clean up. Instead, you’d need to carefully vacuum the surface in an effort to avoid
making a big mess, which can also be a difficult task.

To Get Rid of Asbestos

Before the 1980s, popcorn ceilings were made with materials that contained asbestos. This material can
be a real hazard if it is allowed to become airborne and inhaled by occupants of the home.

If your home was built in the 1980s or prior and you haven’t made any updates to your ceiling since
then, there is a good chance that there is asbestos lingering in your home. If that’s the case, popcorn
ceiling removal will be able to kill two birds with one stone by eliminating the asbestos and updating
your home’s esthetics at the same time.

Don’t take any chances with a DIY approach to popcorn ceiling removal. Instead, entrust this
challenging and intricate job to the experts. At The Ceiling Specialists, we’ll carefully remove your
popcorn ceiling – and any asbestos that may be embedded within it – to reveal a smoother, more modern
finish. Your home will be transformed!
